REASON TO BELIEVE
Bruce Springsteen
See a man standing over a [A] dead dog,
[D] by the highway,
in the [A] ditch
He's looking down kinda [A] puzzled,
Poking that dog with a [E] stick
Got his car door flung
[A] open,
Hes [D] standing out on Highway [A] 31
Like if he stood there [A] long enough,
That dog would up and
[E] run.
Well it struck me kinda [A] funny,
[D] seemed kind of funny sir to [A] me
At the end of every [A] hard-earned
day
People find some reason to [E] believe
Now Mary Lou loved [A] Johnny,
[D] with a love mean and [A] true
Said I'll work for you [A] every day,
Bring my money home to [E] you
One day he up and [A] left her,
[D] and
ever since [A] that
She stands at the end of that [A] dirt road,
Waiting for young Johnny to [A] come back.
Well
it struck me kinda [A] funny,
[D] seemed kind of funny sir to [A] me
At the end of every [A] hard-earned day
People
find some reason to [E] believe
Take a baby to the [A] river,
[D] Kyle William they call [A] him
Wash the
baby in the [A] water,
Take away little Kyles [E] sin
In a whitewashed [A] shotgun shack,
An [D] old man passes
[A] away
Take the baby to the [A] graveyard,
And over him they [E] pray
Lord won't you [A] tell us,
[D] Tell
us what does it [A] mean
At the end of every [A] hard-earned day
People find some reason to [E] believe
Congregation
[A] gathered,
[D] Down by the river-[A]-side
Preacher stands with a [A] Bible,
Groom waiting for his [E] bride
Congregation [A] gone,
The sun sets [D] behind a weeping willow [A] tree
Groom stands [A] alone and watches
The
river rush on so effortless-[E]-ly
Lord, and hes [A] wonderin',
[D] Where can his baby [A] be
Still at the end
of every [A] hard-earned day
People find some reason to [E] believe
